Belonging means you feel seen for your unique contributions, connected to your coworkers, and supported in your daily life and career development. Offering a culture of belonging is an increasing priority for companies, and a lot of the responsibility for building it falls to new and middle managers.

In this episode, we'll explore the key elements of creating a sense of belonging in your team: how to work against bias, the downsides of being an insider, and how to be an ally.

Pooja Jain-Link, Executive Vice President at  Coqual, explains what belonging actually means, the pitfalls we need to be mindful of,  and how it applies to all of us.

Stephanie Creary, Professor of Management at the Wharton School, provides step by step examples of things you can do with your own team to foster belonging, including her LEAP system.
